Kawerak, a nonprofit that serves some 20 Iñupiaq and Yup’ik tribes in the Bering Strait region, last month asked state regulators for a hearing on a wastewater discharge permit for the project.

The challenges, filed last week in British Columbia’s Supreme Court, call for legal reviews of the provincial government’s decision earlier this year to let a Canadian company hang on, indefinitely, to a key environmental permit.

Geologic hydrogen — gas that’s trapped underground or stimulated by injecting water into certain mineral deposits — is all the buzz right now . Boosters say it could revolutionize the global energy system as a potentially abundant source of low-carbon fuel — though it’s not yet proven at a large scale. That’s why a mineral exploration company recently announced that it would study the potential for geologic hydrogen alongside its search for minerals at two sites in Southeast Alaska.

A cyanide spill at a major gold mine in the Yukon Territory, high in the Yukon River watershed, has sparked widespread concern in Canada. But Alaska salmon advocates say the mishap isn’t just a problem for Yukoners. The spill happened upstream of a tributary of the Yukon River. The Yukon is Alaska’s biggest transboundary waterway, and residents along its shores who have depended on salmon for generations are already suffering amid crashes of multiple species.

Oil companies help stoke climate change by producing fuel that warms the earth when burned. But the Australian company building one of Alaska’s huge new oil fields says the development, Pikka, will actually be climate-friendly. Like many big businesses, Santos says it will counteract its emissions in part with offsets. Those are credits that companies can earn or buy from projects that lower the levels of heat-trapping carbon in the air, such as by planting trees.
